Tom Kent & Shawn Hamilton 2014 Challenge
Keen anglers and Broome A.S. Bailiff's, Shawn Hamilton and Tom Kent have decided to undertake a series of fishing challenges to test each others ability and to have a bit of fun on the bank. They will keep us updated with their progress throughout the year. They have each set the other five challenges, plus, two challenges that they will compete in together, with points available for the completion of each challenge. Whoever wins (by scoring the most points) will receive one 24hr ticket for a Carp session at Celtic Lakes paid for by the loser. Below is a list of the challenges. The decision to take on a challenge can be made on the day BEFORE fishing commences, but once started cannot be stopped, apart from on one occasion each, only.
